Chapter 481 The Battle of the Southern Territory

The Southern Territory's Great War.

The thirteen countries of the Southern Territory suffered a joint invasion by the forces of the Chaotic Sea Area and the ten great demon sects from the west wilderness.

The Southern Territory had merely three Heavenly Saints, and their strength was only slightly superior to that of the western wilderness's ten great demon sects, but far inferior to the unified power of the Chaotic Sea Area.

If it weren't for the support of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory would have fallen long ago.

This great war involved the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory, the Heavenly Sacred Palace, the Chaotic Sea Area, and the western wilderness's ten great demon sects, and it stretched over hundreds of thousands of miles within the Southern Territory!

Naturally, the absolute power of the later stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm had the greatest impact on the war, with the number of Heavenly Saint Realm warriors being the key factor.

But the true battle was waged among the countless warriors of the Rotating Pill Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, and True Qi Realm!

As numerous Heavenly Saints from the Heavenly Sacred Palace were unwilling to get involved in the Southern Territory's Great War, the morale of the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory was continuously eroded, utterly at a disadvantage in battles at the Heavenly Saint Realm level. Warriors of the Rotating Pill Realm and Spirit Sea Realm were gradually unable to hold off the enemy, and throughout the entire war in the Southern Territory, the thirteen countries were in constant retreat.

Across the vast lands of the Southern Territory's thirteen countries, smoke from signal fires rose everywhere, battle flames roared, cities were destroyed, and corpses littered the ground. Numerous citizens and warriors of the Southern Territory died, retreated, or fled. The hearts of all people sunk lower and lower.

However, when news of Ye Chen's return spread, the entire situation changed drastically!

"Ye Chen has returned?!"

In the Central Region, the eastern Polar Star Archipelago, the northern icy palaces and snowy plains, countless eyes were focused on the Southern Territory's Great War, with various intelligence networks and communication methods spread out over the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory.

Upon hearing that Ye Chen was about to return to the Southern Territory, the first to be overjoyed were those more than forty warriors from the Heavenly Sacred Palace who had witnessed Ye Chen's prowess in the Five Elements Mountain.

These warriors were already very strong, otherwise, they wouldn't have been selected to participate in the expedition to the Five Elements Mountain.

Previously, during the great war in the Southern Territory, they didn't really have much desire to get involved. After all, following Ye Chen's disappearance from the Five Elements Mountain, many rumors spread that he had perished there.

In such a case, even if Ye Chen had been formidable, it would have been useless.

But now, upon hearing that Ye Chen was returning to the Southern Territory, these warriors would not stay on the sidelines anymore.

In the Five Elements Mountain, they had witnessed Ye Chen's might! Even Minghua, the top-tier strongman from Purple Dawn Continent's Heavenly Saint Summit, showed immense respect to Ye Chen. Even the little saintess from the land of Lihuo was defeated by Ye Chen. Even a true god had spoken on behalf of Ye Chen.

All of this absolutely confirmed Ye Chen's strength.

And Ye Chen, this immensely powerful Ye Chen, had returned!

He alone had the absolute power to call upon these warriors to join the Southern Territory's Great War, all for a chance to show their faces in front of Ye Chen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Among these more than forty warriors, those who were already contributing to the war effort in the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory were extremely excited.

And the rest of the warriors, who were not in the Southern Territory, rushed from all directions to the thirteen countries upon hearing the news, immediately joining the battle against the Chaotic Sea Area and the ten great demon sects of the western wilderness.

It wasn't just these more than forty warriors who had explored the Five Elements Mountain that were mobilized; numerous Heavenly Saints from the Heavenly Sacred Palace who had either given up or never gone to the Southern Territory were also stirred into action.

"Ye Chen is a once-in-a-millennium unparalleled genius of our Heavenly Sacred Palace!"

"He didn't die in the Five Elements Mountain, he has become even stronger?!"

"He actually possesses the combat power to sweep through Heavenly Saints?!"

"The thirteen countries of the Southern Territory are his homeland. Previously, his absence meant that helping the Southern Territory was of no significance, but now that he's back, it's a completely different story!"

"Making an effort for the Southern Territory to network with Ye Chen is definitely worthwhile."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Stay connected through empire

All these Heavenly Saints flew towards the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory.

The major sects from the Central Region that had been continuously monitoring the Southern Territory's Great War also moved. Quite a few of these sects' strongmen led their disciples towards the Southern Territory's thirteen countries.

Even if they did not directly join the Southern Territory's Great War or support the thirteen countries, these people wanted to see for themselves whether Ye Chen was as formidable as the rumors suggested, and whether he really brought with him helpers from the late stages of the nine great Heavenly Saints.

If the rumors were true, then they would certainly aid in the Southern Territory's Great War, making an effort to form a good relationship with Ye Chen.

As the message of Ye Chen's return to the Southern Territory echoed throughout the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, more than tens of thousands of warriors rushed to the Southern Territory!

```

Among them, thousands of martial warriors directly threw themselves into the wars raging across various regions of the Southern Thirteen Kingdoms!

When the Nine Great Ice Guards led almost a hundred thousand previously captured Southern Territory and Heavenly Sacred Palace war prisoners back to the Southern Territory, it set off a huge uproar.

Countless martial warriors, upon hearing the news that late-stage Heavenly Saint War Beasts commanded by Ye Chen were joining the war, went completely insane.

"Nine late-stage Heavenly Saints!"

"Heavens, in this great battle of the Southern Territory, the Southern side originally had only three palace masters from the Heavenly Sacred Palace in the late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm, and the Chaotic Sea Area side also had only three late-stage Heavenly Saints. Now, there have suddenly appeared nine late-stage powerhouses!"

"The Southern Territory now far exceeds the Chaotic Sea Area in terms of top-level combat power. The situation of the war has completely turned around!"

The fire burned even fiercer.

Previously, with the Southern Territory at a disadvantage in the war, many naturally sought to avoid danger and did not want to be dragged into it.

The situation is different now. With the Southern Territory having the upper hand in terms of top-level combat power, numerous onlooking martial warriors with ties to Ye Chen or the Heavenly Sacred Palace, as well as those wishing to curry favor with Ye Chen—from the Heavenly Saint Realm, Rotating Pill Realm, and Spirit Sea Realm—all flew towards the Southern Thirteen Kingdoms.

Even countless disciples from the True Qi Realm took flying boats from various places to rush to the Southern Territory to support the Southern cause!

Within half a day, those headed to the Southern Thirteen Kingdoms to join the great war had reached the hundreds of thousands!

Dense crowds of martial warriors, from the central region of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and even from the eastern Polar Star Archipelago and the northern Ice Palace Snow Plains, swarmed into the Southern Thirteen Kingdoms like locusts covering the sky and earth.

Skyfrost Nation.

It is the northernmost country among the Southern Thirteen Kingdoms and also the one closest to the central region.

The overall command of the great war within Skyfrost Nation was in the hands of the greatest elder of the 'Mystic Maple Valley' within Skyfrost Nation, the late-stage Rotating Pill realm powerhouse "Mo Chong".

Initially, in the battle against the Chaotic Sea Area and the ten great demon sects of the Western Wilderness, Skyfrost Nation was under the least pressure because it was situated in the far north. However, besieged by four great demon sects, Skyfrost Nation had also completely fallen into a disadvantageous position.

In the great war that lasted nearly three months, hundreds of cities within Skyfrost Nation had been completely conquered, countless homes had been burned to the ground, and many civilians and warriors from Skyfrost Nation had already fled to the last few cities, putting up their final resistance.

All the warriors of Skyfrost Nation knew in their hearts that with the situation progressing as it was, the complete occupation of Skyfrost Nation was just a matter of time.

The overall commander of the great war within Skyfrost Nation, the late-stage Rotating Pill Realm powerhouse "Mo Chong", felt his heart sinking completely.

But on this day, when the news of Ye Chen's return to the Southern Territory had just reached Skyfrost Nation, before Mo Chong could fully grasp the real significance of this message, he saw countless figures cross over from the central region to the Southern Territory, flying into Skyfrost Nation.

Mo Chong also saw countless Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses flying before him.

These Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses, whom he could not have asked for help from before, were now directly inquiring about the whereabouts of the Western Wilderness's ten great demon sects' strongholds from him and flying straight toward those bases.

Suddenly, countless strongholds of the Western Wilderness's ten great demon sects were uprooted, and hundreds of thousands of their disciples were continuously killed!

One after another, cities began to be reclaimed.

Throughout Skyfrost Nation, the skies were ablaze with war, and screams echoed, but this time, they were the screams of the disciples from the ten great demon sects of the Western Wilderness!

As victories kept being reported back to the last few cities where civilians and warriors from Skyfrost Nation had taken refuge, countless citizens and warriors cried out in joy and tears.

When the news reached the ears of "Mo Chong", the commander in charge of the Skyfrost Nation campaign, his head spun: "What's happening?! How did we get so many helpers?! Even more than when the Heavenly Sacred Palace first joined the war!"

"Could it be because of Ye Chen and the return of those nine late-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouses to the Southern Territory?!"

"Heavens, we are saved, we are saved!"

Skyfrost Nation, being at the very north and closest to the central region and other territories, felt this change most directly.

And as countless martial warriors moved from Skyfrost Nation deeper into the southern countries like Sky Desert Country, Tian Yun Nation, Heavenly Splendor Kingdom...

The entire Southern Thirteen Kingdoms felt this shift!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the grand expanse of the Southern Thirteen Kingdoms, which span tens of thousands of miles, in thousands of large cities and tens of thousands of smaller towns, countless martial warriors arrived to help.

Especially when the Nine Great Ice Guards joined the most intense battlefronts within the kingdoms of Tian Li and Tian Bao, it even motivated numerous Heavenly Saints to rush to these two countries.

The balance of the great war of the Southern Territory had been completely overturned!
